Track Bank Accounts
The Bank Account Document represents one of your company's actual Bank Accounts. If you are using salesorder.com to run your business then the balance and associated transactions should reflect those of the actual account it represents. Indeed, each Bank Account within salesorder.com can be reconciled with its real-world counterpart.
As with its real-world counterpart, the Bank Account Document allows you to make deposits and transfers, and record bank charges and interest payments.
Note: Credit Card and Petty Cash accounts are very similar to Bank Accounts. So if you need information on how to use these accounts simply use the help relating to Bank Accounts.
